VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) is pleased to announce the launch of its first annual report on Canada’s performance within the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The 2019 CPTPP Tracker analyzes the evolution of Canadian trade, investment, and innovation within the CPTPP, which came in to force on December 30, 2018 amid an already-protracted trade war between the United States and China that has compromised Canadian trade expansion. It monitors, analyzes, and forecasts trends and opportunities in Canada's international trade and investment relations with its CPTPP partner countries.
Key findings of the 2019 CPTPP Tracker include:
“This report is the first exercise at measuring Canadian export performance within the CPTPP region,” said APF Canada Vice-President Research Dr. Jeffrey Reeves. “This snapshot of the CPTPP’s inaugural year offers opportune information and analysis to decision-makers in private and public sectors to plan and readjust their strategies for the upcoming years.”
